The most beautiful of days....

I took my camera out early this morning, when the sun made a surprise early appearance in the valley. I knew it was going to be a beautiful day, but I am so glad I went out early, because the trees were all frozen. Every branch was coated with ice, and the looked as though they were all alight with millions of twinkling lights.

I tried to get a good photo, but it was very difficult with the sun shining. I hope you can get an idea of how lovely and magical it was!

The shadows were so beautiful. I am running out of superlatives and adjectives. Sigh.

The sky is so blue. SO blue. It never looks like this in England.....

Maybe you can get a rough idea of why I love this place so much.....

Snow, sun, shadows, trees, blue sky, mountains, family.....

Familiar places. Familar scenery. Beauty.

And paths I can manage to walk on. The caterpillar thingy had just been down the path, making the snow and ice slightly rough, so it was easy to walk.....

The sun is still shining. The sky is still blue. There will be more photos later, I have a strong feeling!

About Me

I am NOT good at playing around with templates and losing things like my "about me" details. Sigh. I am a middle-aged mum living in middle England. My children are grown and have flown the nest - one to the other side of the world, but this is what I raised them to do, after all. Widow, daughter, sister, GRANNY and friend..... I intend having adventures, and celebrating life. The rocking chair is just for resting to catch my breath now and then!
